Cell therapy is emerging as a paradigm-shifting strategy in healthcare. To harness this potential, stringent process controls must be put into place that monitor and measure critical parameters of the cell product at every step, from patient sample acquisition to drug product release.

While traditional flow cytometers are the gold standard for cell analysis, they are not well suited for the manufacturing environment.

Accellix has developed a rapid, fully automated, sample to analysis, cell phenotyping platform, bringing a simple, standardized quality control solution to the cell therapy market.

Currently serving global pharma and biotech companies, Accellix is well on the way to setting the standard for quality control in cell and gene therapy.
